But Amezaga drove a 2-2 pitch to right field, doubling in two runs. Miller reached on an infield single and scoring on Hanley Ramirez's three-run homer to make it a 7-3 game.

So uh, why is Chipper in the lineup again? Give the man a day off and let his quad heal up completely, he isn't that necessary to have in the lineup today.

He's playing 150 games this year! He'll get tomorrow off. :D

[BGarrett7]

Why can't this be the ESPN game? I would sacrifice listening to Jon and Joe for a chance to not miss the game because of work. Not only that, but I'm missing Sunday at Augusta, too!

[ERod10]

Go Bravos!!!!!!!!!! Go for the Sweep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[McCarroll21]

But... you get to hear Joe Morgan talk about "The Captain!" Even when he's not playing...

[MPH]

But... you get to hear Joe Morgan talk about "The Captain!" Even when he's not playing...
Yeah, see? Every dark cloud has a silver lining!:nod:

[BGarrett7]

God bless the Captain and his intangibles.

[McCarroll21]

Watching Baseball Tonight and Wade Boggs should do more TV work (maybe he does and I miss it). If ESPN wants former players on BBTN, they should use players like Wade Boggs that at least have all the knowledge (I'm looking at you Eric Young) to not sound like a fool.

Yeh he knows what he's saying. I like this BBTN a lot right now.

[JCStone7]

:woot: Let's go boys!

[BGarrett7]

I could be completely off, but I believe Boggs has done color work for the Rays.

[boof1027]

I like Wade also, Orel Hershiser (sp) is not bad to listen to IMHO. If I am not mistaken he used to call some games for espn. He is very knowledgeable and explains alot of things. On the other hand, Joe Morgan has to be the worst announcer EVER. The Nationals announcer on XM the other night was pretty bad but not in the same league as Joe.

[McCarroll21]

"Can you hear me Katy? It's Jerome. You've got one hair out of place."

[MPH]

The Nationals announcer on XM the other night was pretty bad but not in the same league as Joe.
So Boof, if Joe saw your post, he would think about it, analyze it, synthesize it, and announce on ESPN, "I'd just like to take a moment to thank my friends at B-N for their kind words. According to them, 'Joe Morgan' - that's me - 'is in a league of his own!'" :rolleyes:

[McCarroll21]

LOL! Nice MPH! Didn't Morgan play for the Big Red Machine? Or something...

[cjones1999]

I could be completely off, but I believe Boggs has done color work for the Rays.
I think McGriff does a postgame show for the Rays as well.

[MPH]

LOL! Nice MPH! Didn't Morgan play for the Big Red Machine? Or something...
Yeah, something like that - Milo Hamilton once called him 'the most exciting young player in baseball."

[McCarroll21]

I wonder if Ron Gant ever just beats the piss out of Jurenobitch?

If not... he should. If for no other reason, this:
WORST SPORTS MOMENT: 1992 NLCS. It was bad enough to be living in the worst sports city in America but watching the slowest man in baseball, a former Pirate by the way, score from 2nd base and rally the Braves from down 2 in the bottom of the 9th and deny Pittsburgh a chance at playing in the World Series for a third year in a row was crushing! I still haven’t forgiven Barry Bonds. The fact that he has a noodle for a throwing arm proves he will never be the player his Godfather, Willie Mays was.

[McCarroll21]

Without Rollins and Victorino, Geoff Jenkins is batting leadoff (http://mlb.mlb.com/news/boxscore.jsp?gid=2008_04_13_chnmlb_phimlb_1) for the Phillies.

[JCStone7]

:woot: Road Blues!

[McCarroll21]

Why can't this be the ESPN game? I would sacrifice listening to Jon and Joe for a chance to not miss the game because of work. Not only that, but I'm missing Sunday at Augusta, too!Going back to this, I would like to point out that if you watch ESPN tonight, you'll still be listening to Jon and Joe. :D

[McCarroll21]

:woot: Road Blues!
Baseball players aren't superstitious or anything. If this keeps up, let's wear them in Florida and in Atlanta, too!

[BGarrett7]

Why not just put Utley there? That makes absolutely no sense. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think Jenkins is a high OBP guy. Put Utley at the top, Bruntlett second, Jenkins third, Howard in the cleanup hole, Feliz fifth and just go from there.

[JCStone7]

Baseball players aren't superstitious or anything. If this keeps up, let's wear them in Florida and in Atlanta, too!

I'm game!

[McCarroll21]

Brewers leading 2-1 early in New York.

Take a walk Kelly!

Way to go Esco! Do it Larry

[mark]

this national guy is impressively annoying. "hey! look at that curveball!" "wow! look at that groundball!" has he never watched a ballgame before?

[ERod10]

Game Time GO Bravos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jones2510]

lets go chipper

[JCStone7]

That looked like a solid single

[McCarroll21]

Thanks Directv and Extra Innings for giving us the home and away feed this year so I can listen to the Braves guys every game.

Hit it the same way next time Chippah! He won't catch it again.

[jones2510]

ugh

[McCarroll21]

Let's go Tommy!

[JCStone7]

I love seeing Glavine in a Braves uni

[jones2510]

lets go glavine

[JCStone7]

ugh.. dp here!

[broke]

great start

[McCarroll21]

*sigh* Get out of it Tommy!

[jones2510]

please get the dp

[JCStone7]

Ugh Esco

[Nasadega]

Cmon Glavine!

[Nasadega]

Nice defense there!

[JCStone7]

DP here

[McCarroll21]

Is that a "We <3 Obama" sign that they keep popping up there behind home plate?

[JCStone7]

C'mon Glav!

[McCarroll21]

WMP is a strikeout waiting to happen. Lo Duca is after him, there's the double play.

[vnodnarb]

This looks like the 1st inning from yesterday, unfortunately we're on the wrong side.

[dogmanx23]

Come on TOMMY! let out of this!

[jones2510]

come on glavine

uh oh not good:(

[JCStone7]

Ah shit

[McCarroll21]

Dammit Tommy! We can't have this crap! :(

[JCStone7]

Campillo?

[dogmanx23]

AHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!! I hope hes ok!

[Nasadega]

Motherf...

[lilsnatch07]

Hopefully he just didn't want to hurt himself too bad and came out. If he goes on the 15 day DL too then ughhh!

[broke]

Him and hampton can play rummy in the locker room

[vnodnarb]

I missed it, what happened to Glavine? Is he hurt?

[JCStone7]

I missed it, what happened to Glavine? Is he hurt?

Unfortunately

[broke]

I missed it, what happened to Glavine? Is he hurt?

guess so.....didnt see anything out of the ordinary tho

[JCStone7]

It's a hip or back

[ATlinVA]

I hope we are just getting the injury bug out of the way early...

[McCarroll21]

I missed it, what happened to Glavine? Is he hurt?
Yeah... A leg thing it looked like. Jon and Joe think he may have tweaked it on the bunt attempt by Milledge.

[lilsnatch07]

Who might we see now if he goes on the DL?

[McCarroll21]

Who might we see now if he goes on the DL?
He won't.

[dogmanx23]

come on Jeff u can do it get out of this

[lilsnatch07]

He won't.

Good! Bennett back in the game again after someone gets injured... :cool:

[JCStone7]

Alright Bennett let's get out of this

[F_man8326]

Who might we see now if he goes on the DL?
My early guess - JoJo Reyes

Hopefully, he doesn't go on the DL

[broke]

willy mo......just strike out

[lilsnatch07]

Good thing I said IF he goes on the DL. Wouldn't want to jinx him. I like the double play ball

[McCarroll21]

Glavine didn't go on the DL due to arm circulatory problems a few years back. He won't go on it here. Again, cold weather probably kept him from being able to stay in there. Had it been in Florida or Atlanta, he may not have even felt it.

----

Good job Bennett! Braves going to have to break out some bats and pick Tommy up today!

[JCStone7]

w00t DP... get Lo Puka

[jones2510]

nice jeff one more

[F_man8326]

If memory serves me correctly, Glavine has never been on the DL

[gobravez]

good job Bennett

[McCarroll21]

Way to go Jeff! Now let's start working on putting up 10 runs again.

[BGarrett7]

Well, that's what happens when you gamble on three starters who are over the age of 36, two of which who are in their forties... I don't won't to sound like the eternal pessimist that I an here, but that is just the bottomline. I'm not watching the game and therefore don't have any clue how bad this is, but any kind of injury to a pitcher who is 42 and consistently thrown over 200 innings for almost twenty reasons is NEVER a good thing.

[JCStone7]

If memory serves me correctly, Glavine has never been on the DL

He hasn't! Nice Bennett, tough spot to come in relief with no out and bases full and only give up 1 run. Good job

[McCarroll21]

If memory serves me correctly, Glavine has never been on the DL
You're correct.

[mark]

nice damage control

[JCStone7]

Let's go Teix!!!

[gobravez]

What's up with the dude wearing a mets hat and phillies shirt?

[McCarroll21]

He wasn't favoring anything though, other than bending over at the waist trying to stretch out something in his leg. When he was walking around though, you couldn't tell he was hurt anywhere. If he were limping or did more "grabbing" at an injured spot would scare me more.

[jones2510]

lets go tex brian

[McCarroll21]

What's up with the dude wearing a mets hat and phillies shirt?
He's wearing Marlins underwear, Braves socks and Nationals pants.

[JCStone7]

Good rip Mac... get the walk

God this game sux right now lol

[ERod10]

Darn it!!!

[McCarroll21]

The good news is we're getting base runners and hitting him pretty hard. We can't get that many and not eventually push them across with this lineup.

[josephw000]

Eventually those hard hit balls will find gaps....I'm hoping that happens before Jeff gives up more runs though......

Darn it!!!

Way to keep it pithy, guys!:rolleyes:

Go Braves, I'm off to dinner, hopefully when I'm back, Braves lead by a dozen.

[broke]

wheres the other boone at (bret)? Him and marcus giles hanging out?

[McCarroll21]

I've lost 8K on PT because Glavine left with that injury and I guess I'll keep losing because I'm not selling him when I bought him at $49.

[JCStone7]

That's bunting 101 there. Let's get Guzman Jeff!

[PhantomsCV]

wheres the other boone at (bret)? Him and marcus giles hanging out?

Bret retired in Seattle.

[BGarrett7]

The thing to worry about with all these "cold weather" injuries is first, how fatigue is going to bother them in the dog days of August and September, and second, how often these little things are gonna pop up if or when the Braves make it to October.

[vnodnarb]

Only Start for Reyes so far at Richmond:

5IP, 1H, 2BB, 0ER

[JCStone7]

The thing to worry about with all these "cold weather" injuries is first, how fatigue is going to bother them in the dog days of August and September, and second, how often these little things are gonna pop up if or when the Braves make it to October.

Well luckily in October your rotation can shrink down to 3 or 4 guys.

[McCarroll21]

Bret retired in Seattle.
Bret's playing for the Nationals Triple-A team.

Well prob make a mid season trade for a huge pitcher or the savior Tommy Hanson will come up and go 6-0 :rolleyes:

[jones2510]

come on jeff

[josephw000]

Only Start for Reyes so far at Richmond:

5IP, 1H, 2BB, 0ER

Hopefully someday JoJo will figure it out at the ML level, he pitches great in AAA

[JCStone7]

Well prob make a mid season trade for a huge pitcher or the savior Tommy Hanson will come up and go 6-0 :rolleyes:

In 2010. Guzman beats out Kage for the first walk.

[josephw000]

Lord Jeff.......

[JCStone7]

Can't blame him, I wanna hit L-Millz too.

[vnodnarb]

Two Starts from Morton at Richmond:

10.1IP 5H 4BB 1ER

[josephw000]

O lordy...

[JCStone7]

Two Starts from Morton at Richmond:

As much as I'd love to see Morton, give it to Jo-Jo if need be.

[josephw000]

Two Starts from Morton at Richmond:

Not bad their either......

[JCStone7]

Ugh! 3 straight walks

[broke]

Ugh! 3 straight walks

Is that bad?

[Bskilgore21]

Does Joe Simpson seem a little more biased this year than in years passed to anyone else? I feel like this shmuck that is announcing with him is bringing out the homer in him.

[dogmanx23]

COME ON JEFF!

[josephw000]

O god...I say you leave him in there till he flippin figures it out.....

[PhantomsCV]

4 straight walks :(

[josephw000]

Does Joe Simpson seem a little more biased this year than in years passed to anyone else? I feel like this shmuck that is announcing with him is bringing out the homer in him.

jesus no.....i think he sounds like a Braves announcer....

[dogmanx23]

ok TAKE HIM OUT!!! 4 straight Walks his time is up!

[McCarroll21]

Blah! This is just going to be a bad day.

PROTRADE, CentSports, BN Bux ... all losing tons of money!

[broke]

pull him already

[JCStone7]

So um throw a strike?

[ERod10]

I hope we Score some runs in this game!!! it was 15k Braves!:eek:!!!! We HAVE to Win!

[BGarrett7]

Well luckily in October your rotation can shrink down to 3 or 4 guys.And would you want any of those guys to be Bennett, James, Reyes or anyone not named Smoltz. Hudson, Glavine or Jurrjens? These minor injuries to older pitchers aren't gonna go away easily like with some twenty-something.

[mark]

Is that bad?

not as bad as 4 straight

[PhantomsCV]

So um throw a strike?

please????

[ERod10]

Calling Charlie Morton:confused::confused::confused:

[JCStone7]

And would you want any of those guys to be Bennett, James, Reyes or anyone not named Smoltz. Hudson, Glavine or Jurrjens? These minor injuries to older pitchers aren't gonna go away easily like with some twenty-something.

I think you can pencil in Hudson and Jurrjens. But no one in their right mind would want that first set in October.

[PhantomsCV]

COME ON OFFENSE, LET'S GET SOME OF THOSE BACK!!!!!!!

[JCStone7]

Okay, so offense let's get going.

C'mon Hitman!

[vnodnarb]

Generous call there, nothing like a 37 pitch 2nd inning after losing your starter in the first.

[broke]

Just let the Nationals butterfly the ball to themselves

[josephw000]

that was a strike??? i think randy was tired of standing up....

[PhantomsCV]

that was a strike??? i think randy was tired of standing up....

He needed a little boys break.

[jones2510]

Alright braves can we please get some runs here

[vnodnarb]

A couple of runs here is a must.

[JCStone7]

A couple of runs here is a must.

At least one

[gobravez]

I might as well go back to bed. :)

[PhantomsCV]

A couple of runs here is a must.

with 8 9 1 coming up..

PERFECT!

[MPH]

Glavine has a strained right hamstring.

[Bskilgore21]

Diaz swings at everyhing

[josephw000]

Bennet is gonna hit??? Ugh....a 1 hour 2 innings game so far....

[josephw000]

Glavine has a strained right hamstring.


Day to Day



Bennet can run pretty good.....

[vnodnarb]

It's been a bad couple of weeks for injuries in the NL East.

[PhantomsCV]

Hopefully someone will spark our offense...

[JCStone7]

Damn you Corrales! That should've been a double

[ERod10]

Glavine has a strained right hamstring.

Perfect...what else now...i really hope he can pitch in his next turn

[McCarroll21]

It seems like on this road trip we've had more hard hit balls right at people than you can imagine. Granted, we've had our fair share of hits fall in that probably shouldn't have, too, but it sucks to see balls hit as hard as Chipper and Kelly have today show up for nothing.

[josephw000]

God were knocking the shit outta the ball but cant find a gap....it might just be one of those days fellas....

[PhantomsCV]

I wish we could have had 5 runs from yesterday's game.

[McCarroll21]

Sweet! 0-2 count and we hit a guy...

[BGarrett7]

Glavine has a strained right hamstring.Well, guess we'll be seeing Tommy in about two to four weeks. Welcome back to the Majors, Chuck.

[ERod10]

OMG....dont even say that..

I agree, and after all the bloop hits that the rockies got, especially against jurrjens, i feel like we've just been shat on by the baseball gods this road swing.

Assuming he misses a couple starts, if you had to choose between Chuck, Morton, Reyes, or Bennett who gets the starts in Glavine's place?

[PhantomsCV]

:( 5-0 :(

[ERod10]

Bennett is pitching his way into Richmond.

[gobravez]

watching Bennett pitch is painful

[Bskilgore21]

aaron f***in boone

[ERod10]

Oh Lordy, may god help us today

[PhantomsCV]

watching Bennett pitch is painful

LoDuca agrees.

[vnodnarb]

I love how Don has to explain what 490 wins over .500 means.

[gobravez]

Can we please score a couple of runs now?

[vnodnarb]

Nice play Kelly, let's start chipping away, still plenty of time it's not like were facing Peavy.

[Nasadega]

Bennett with the Maddux like 2 seamer!
Go Braves, I'm off to dinner, hopefully when I'm back, Braves lead by a dozen.
:mad:

[ERod10]

Cmon Guys lets get some Runs here!!! Lets get some runs!!! :chop: :chop:

[PhantomsCV]

Nice hit Chippa!

LET'S GO TEIX!

[BGarrett7]

Assuming he misses a couple starts, if you had to choose between Chuck, Morton, Reyes, or Bennett who gets the starts in Glavine's place?Well, since I don't think we're gonna see Hampton until at least the beginning of June at the earliest, and since this will likely sideline Tommy until around the same time, its gonna have to be two of the four. My money would be on Bennett and James. And if either struggles, or continues to as seems to be the case with both, Reyes will be next in line.

This has 2007 written all over it...

[ERod10]

:mad:

Yep...we feel the exact same way!!

[jones2510]

lets go tex

[PhantomsCV]

COME ON HEAP!!!!

[PhantomsCV]

Camera man didn't think Milledge would get a hit.

[ERod10]

This game is SOOOOOO Frustrating:mad::mad::mad:

[boof1027]

Does he have the ankiel syndrom? Cannot he not throw an f'n strike?

[McCarroll21]

Wee! Would it be against the rules to go down into the tunnel and everyone change into the greys?

[PhantomsCV]

Wee! Would it be against the rules to go down into the tunnel and everyone change into the greys?

Pull a USA Mighty Ducks on them???

[McCarroll21]

w00t! Double play! :rolleyes:

[josephw000]

a good throw would of gunned him.....ugh....

[josephw000]

w00t! Double play! :rolleyes:

thank god

[Nasadega]

Suck it Milledge!

[ERod10]

Does he have the ankiel syndrom? Cannot he not throw an f'n strike?

Do you guys know the phone number to Richmond???:confused::confused:

[PhantomsCV]

COME ON JEFFY! half of what you did yesterday and I'll be happy.

[boof1027]

Suck it Milledge!


:lol:that is great

[ERod10]

Cmon guys lets get some runs!!!! The power of Christ compels you Tim Redding.... Cmon knock this guy around....You can DO IT!!!

[PhantomsCV]

PAGING DR. HITEM!

[Nasadega]

Has Kotsyay ever had an at bat where he looked clueless so far this season? I love how he plays the game.

[josephw000]

good swing MArk

[McCarroll21]

Let's go Matty! Get something started. If we can just push one across, the offense may be able to pour them on.

[josephw000]

Has Kotsyay ever had an at bat where he looked clueless so far this season? I love how he plays the game.

Fundamentally sound, looks sharp every at bat so far...

[josephw000]

lmfao he almost hit Marsh!!!

[Nasadega]

Bleh Matty :(
Cmon ump, give us some balls for that attempted murder :D

[PhantomsCV]

lmfao he almost hit Marsh!!!

That's the way to get the pitches to go your way.

[McCarroll21]

It may be time to start looking into the platoon again with Matty. He's just not there (though he didn't start the year off that great last year either facing just lefties so it may just be that he's a slow starter anyway).

[josephw000]

I like Gotay...

[McCarroll21]

Let's Go-Tay! Rip a double somewhere and score Kotsay!

Edit: Walk works. C'mon Kelly! Hit it hard somewhere!

[josephw000]

It may be time to start looking into the platoon again with Matty. He's just not there (though he didn't start the year off that great last year either facing just lefties so it may just be that he's a slow starter anyway).


He may genuienlly be a better platoon player than everyday player...I hope and think hell get better....

[PhantomsCV]

COME ON KAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[josephw000]

good lord this umps strike zone is everywhere....

[ERod10]

Oh, In the name of Jesus can we get some runs!!!

[PhantomsCV]

Glad Kage didn't have a microphone on after that hit.

[Nasadega]

It may be time to start looking into the platoon again with Matty. He's just not there (though he didn't start the year off that great last year either facing just lefties so it may just be that he's a slow starter anyway).
Or he just has to adjust to something completely new to him?

[PhantomsCV]

It's the new kid in town.

[McCarroll21]

That pitch is nasty!

[josephw000]

that was icky....

[PhantomsCV]

screwball and a circle change

NICE.

[PhantomsCV]

Request for a rally babe, or is it not worth it?

[josephw000]

screwball and a circle change

NICE.


nice repitoire(sp?)

[McCarroll21]

If Yunel, Chipper and Teixeira can't start something now, we might as well just fly to Florida a little early.

[josephw000]

Request for a rally babe, or is it not worth it?


I doubt it at this point....

[Nasadega]

Good job by that guy :clap:
How 'bout some runs?

[josephw000]

If Yunel, Chipper and Teixeira can't start something now, we might as well just fly to Florida a little early.


These guys are our hope right now....we play tomorrow since todays a day gamre? or is it a travel day?

[McCarroll21]

Request for a rally babe, or is it not worth it?
Nope. Too early. Put your thing away. :D

The Rally Babe by-laws state that it has to be in the seventh inning or later.

[gobravez]

If Yunel, Chipper and Teixeira can't start something now, we might as well just fly to Florida a little early.

agreed.

[McCarroll21]
